looks like there are going to be a few goals in tonights game.


De voorbereiding heeft voor enkele verrassingen gezorgd. Zo ontpopte Robin van Persie zich tot eerste keus op de rechterflank en verdreef hij daarmee Dirk Kuijt uit het basisteam. Van Basten: "De spelers die tegen Australië spelen, zijn niet de elf spelers die ik voorafgaand aan het trainingskamp in mijn hoofd had als eerste keus. Maar die flexibiliteit moet je ook hebben als trainer. Dat soort dingen gebeuren en daar moet je goed op inspringen."

Van Basten toonde zich zaterdag opgetogen over de ontwikkeling van het Nederlands elftal. "De grootste winst? We zijn als team compacter en meer op de helft van de tegenstander gaan spelen. Daar is moed voor nodig. Het is namelijk gevaarlijk want het brengt risico's met zich mee. Maar het gaat steeds beter en ik heb het idee dat de spelers het zelf ook zo ervaren. Tegen Australië moeten ze zich opnieuw bewijzen. Een nieuw examen ja, maar elke wedstrijd is een nieuw examen."

Translated (approx)

The prep for the WC has thrown up a few surprises. Robin van Persie has made a case to be first choice on the right wing andin doing so drove Kuijt from the 1st 11. van Basten: 'the players named to face Oz aren't the 11 players I had envisaged starting. But you need that flexibility as things happen and you need to be able toi adjust'

van Basten is please with the progress of the tem. 'The biggest advance is that we're compact and playing more inside the oppostions half - you need courage to do that as it brings added risk. Against Oz they'll need to prove themselves again... a new test.'

Fancy a cocktail Caz ?

footy a man`s game you say, in the 70`s perhaps(did`nt anyone tell them it`s not the 70`s anymore)
cricket on the other hand now you`re talking, next time you`ve got some spare time(a week perhaps) you could ask a man to explain the rules to you and acheive true enlightenment :scared:
